I drew a hand one time really well in high school, then after that I couldn't get another one to look so good. x'D

I can draw both hands and feet. I just can't draw the REST.

Feet aren't so difficult. Hands are really tricky.

Feet and chests (Pecs/Breasts in relation to the shoulders and head) I have trouble with. I tend to have to redraw them several times. Hands are so-so.

Actually, I have to agree with Law, torso areas are hard to draw. x'D

the easiest is the hair! 8D
for some reason i cant draw bald people because then it will look very weird to me XD

For me it depends on what kind of hair. XD

Hm...Hands and hair are pretty easy for me. Feet are a bit harder, depending on the angle.

I did...lots of torso/body sketch practices a couple years back, so that part's fine for me. Bit of an anatomy stickler. Law knows.

EDIT: Speaking of which, if anyone ever wants some redlining advice, feel free to ask.

Is it only for realistic drawings or any kind of drawings? My good friend from another site used to help people but if it came to anything cartoon-ish (anime included) they had a hard time helping because it was dependent on a style.

*Waves Hand* I am terrible with cartoon styles

Same here but I can't draw people without a photo or something. x'D

From what I understand, most good artists use references...they just use more tailored references as they develop better drawing skills in certain areas.

"You can draw a hand? Good, now you need to reference a sword." sort of thing.

True, you always need a good reference with art, but some people are able to draw anime/cartoon style things and I can't possibly draw like that, I used to be decent at it, then I just kind of went down hill. x'D

I'm going to let y'all in on a little secret: I don't draw every day. And most days, if I do draw, and it's something other than a woman whose body proportions are similar to mine, I reference the crap out of it. I'll reference poses if I've never drawn 'em before. I'll reference hands holding things, gesticulating, etc. REFERENCES ARE A GOOD THING.

Sorry, late reply, fell asleep.

I have a...I guess it's considered semi-realistic...style. I haven't drawn in a while, but here's a somewhat old example...

I know. x'D I've used references for drawing anime like things, but I can never get satisfied with what I'm doing and it makes me mad. x'D

Edit:
Since Espy is a ninja! x'D That looks awesome. o.o Have you thought of doing art on the side? My friend KC does her NeonGlow comic and is paid to do the Iron Hearts comic, which is awesome for her because that's the kind of thing she's always wanted to do. You're art is really good and could be a style that people would want for their comics.
